Noon-noon 142 miles, mostly in the right direction.  Making steady progress although still hard on the wind NE4.  Seas manageable but with boat at constant 20-30 deg heel and 7 kts through water motion is tiring.  Head chef just produced best loaf yet.  Satellite connectivity getting difficult; will try to follow this with a longer message but do not worry if it does not get throuh.  Think of it as going to the dark side of the moon.
